ArgumentError database.yml

Hi,

I have a new install of rails 3.0.3 on Snow Leopard. When I first power up the rails server and hit a page I get the following error. A subsequent hit to the same page results in a rendered page with no error. I've tried various adapters with the same result.

Thanks

ArgumentError

syntax error on line 3, col 9: ` adapter: postgresql'

Rails.root: /Users/steve/Dropbox/Prototypes/Rails/first

database.yml:

# SQLite version 3.x # gem install sqlite3-ruby (not necessary on OS X Leopard) development:   adapter: postgresql   encoding: utf8   host: localhost   username: postgres   password:   template: template0   database: mydb

There's a syntax error in your yaml file. Make sure you are using spaces rather than tabs and that there aren't any nasty invisible characters hanging around

Ah, that was it. There were some hidden tabs in there. Very picky.

Thanks.
